[shinboner magic]

What about the great duursma

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

Wardlaw out of training with what looks like an ankle thing. Tbh he was the last to finish the shuttle run out of the midfielders and really looking unfit in comparison.

Every day it looks less likely his gonna make it.

Strange thing to say. He's not at Goater levels of last chance saloon just yet

3 concussions in the space of 12 months to go along with high grade hamstring injuries isn’t exactly ideal

He was off the field for 5 minutes, came back on and was straight back into it.

Was he last to finish shuttle run out of the midfield?

I reckon Daniel looking like a shit player is a symptom of another problem and if we don't deal with that then it won't matter whether he plays or not, we won't go anywhere.

Too often we are stagnant and flat footed ahead of the ball carrier. That's the status quo we need to change.

We have been like this for years.

We also kept Fisher off the pitch to avoid revealing our secret weapon

 

[Passmore]

Was he last to finish shuttle run out of the midfield?

Dunno. Don't really take much notice.

We dont draft good mature aged endurance runners

We dont draft good mature aged endurance runners

I think it is more than simply endurance. It is slow thinkers and lack of movement ahead of the ball. On the rare occasion we get possession, too many of our players take too long to dispose of it. Players lead and do not get honoured. After running a bunch of dummy leads players get lazy and stop leading. Next time we get the ball there is no movement ahead of the ball and we inevitably kick to the wrong side of a contest and get scored against. Players ahead of the ball need to stay active. That's why Darling and Parker were brought in because they will continue to hit up regardless of if they are being used or not. It's called professionalism. I hope our boys are taking this on-board.

Someone’s got to finish last.

As long as when the ball is up for grabs he’s there - is what’s important

Have to remind yourself when looking at these Maddie has the "hench" filter set to 'on' as per usual.

Maddie beating our media team to posting today’s session

Three observations:
1. Is LMac’s tongue ever inside his mouth?
2. Lounge - the only player in these photos that hasn’t raised a sweat. Looks like he just rolled in for the Scanlon’s footy card photo
3. Dovaston’s mullet has toned down a notch or two, hopefully not being converted to a lock down back pocket as part of his “ease him in through the shortest backline in the competition” strategy used on Sheez, Kerch and FOS before him

 

[Shinboner1]

They training Saturday?

Struth even if so, LDU looks in the best condition of his career unless she's Doubled down on the "Hench" filter!
